This season onCutting Through we explore leadership unfiltered. Host Natasha Plowman talks to Kate Steele, a 25-year stalwart of communications and business strategy across agency and client-side roles, about what really separates strong leaders from the rest.

Kate shares why great leaders are brilliant at synthesising signals from every direction, how fear and territory-defending sabotage teams, and how cultural context shapes leadership in ways we rarely talk about honestly. From collaborative versus competitive workplaces to leading across borders. We dig into the broken time-based economics of agencies and professional services, why not everyone who wants a leadership role is suited to one, and what human leadership looks like in a world increasingly shaped by AI.


Guest: Kate Steele, communications and business strategy leader with over 25 years of agency and client-side experience.
